"Love Or Lust"

Love should be unconditional, it should not set terms or conditions. If you really love someone then you are willing to accept that person. A close friend of mine has an elder sister. Her sister had been dating her boyfriend for almost an year or so. They were workmates and during this period they fell in love. The guy had approached her first and always claimed how madly he loved her and finally her sister had said yes to him. My friends sister belongs to a very strict family, she usually has to lie and all to meet the guy and go out with him. They spent and shared many beautiful moments together. My friends sister by now was madly in love with the guy aswell and was willing to settle down with him. The guy had got a job offer later in another city so he moved. He use to visit her often but suddenly things started changing. The guy stopped calling her and sending her sms. He usually said his broke so couldn't make it over to her place. My friends sister was getting a feeling that maybe the guy is actually trying to avoid her now. He had promised to marry her but one fine day when she talked to him regarding this matter he said am sorry i can't marry you right now plus you'l have to go through my parents first. He even mentioned that maybe I won't be able to marry you in future. So is there any point in them continuing their relationship? The guy says that it does not matter if they will end up being together, he encourages my friends sister to keep meeting him. Is the guy just trying to use her? My friends sister loves the guy dearly and can't live without him so she is helpless and agreed to his conditions. Would you people call this Love Or Lust from the guys point of view?

True love is very rare and when two people are really in love nothing will stop them from being together no matter how many obstacles are presented.If he wanted to see her he would do everything he could.From what you wrote it doesnt seem like he is in love it might be deeper then lust but not deep enough to be love.I hope your friends sister finds happiness with or without the guy.

You are wise and at this point he is obviously not in love with her. She must move on and forget him or put him in the past. It is good for her to know now and not later.

If the guy introduced your sister to his parents then that is a sign of true love for entering a relationship doesn't only mean just the 2 of them. it also involves each ones family where one is concerned about. it is innate in every one for fear of marriage due to the restrictions and obligations you have to do as your responsibility. Only time could tell if the guy really loves your sister for people change depending on how his mind works.

The guy has already used her. I think any further use is just lust and he has lost any love he had. She was used and must now move on. She needs to protect herself better from such abuse.
